Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This article describes some of the changes in the styles of grave markers and their inscriptions and decoration over the last few centuries, first outlining some of the ways in which graveyards themselves developed over time. Before the Reformation most churchyards contained few gravestones, with most people buried in unmarked graves which overlapped with earlier burials. However, by the mid-19th century most people were commemorated by stones. These can provide information about family relationships, occupation, cause of death and place of residence. Inscriptions nowadays are generally brief, and mass production of memorials has led to a decrease in variety of form. LD | ||||||
